Plan Commission reviews rezoning request for 40-acre Heartland Park expansion and amphitheater
Summary
Planning staff presented a rezoning petition to reclassify roughly 40 acres from RC‑2 PUD to a public zoning district to allow a park, amphitheater and splash pad; the Town Council supports the project and the item will proceed through the standard rezoning process.
The Plan Commission on March 5 considered a petition to rezone about 40 acres for a proposed Heartland Park expansion to include a public park, amphitheater and splash pad. Ashley Abernathy, planning staff, described the request as a rezone from RC‑2 PUD to the town’s public zoning district to bring the parcel into the same classification as other town park parcels.
Abernathy said the parcel is intended for a proposed amphitheater and splash pad and that the Town Council supports moving the project forward. The rezoning would align this 40‑acre parcel’s zoning with other town‑owned park parcels and is a preliminary step before more detailed design and permitting work.
Why it matters: Reclassification to a public district is a prerequisite to siting facilities that are town‑owned and operated; it affects future site plans, public‑use rules and capital planning.
Next steps: The rezoning petition will proceed through the commission’s rezoning review process; staff did not report a formal vote at the study session.
